Children: an unavoidable topic for any family. When young, one might not feel it, perhaps even viewing children as a burden. But as one ages, seeing friends and colleagues surrounded by their children often evokes complex feelings. This is particularly true for women over thirty and men over thirty-five.

Zhao Fang nodded and left with the prescription, looking back every few steps, her reluctance clear.
「The next day.」
